What's the Matter Now ?-The Belair
Democrat of last week says "Towsontown, so
long slumbering, is now reported to be in great
state of excitement over the approaching races
The entries thus far are but two in number
Brother Longnecker of THE UNION, and Contrac-
tor Eagle of M. G.. R. r. fame. The distance
to be run is from Samuel Robinson's cafe to the
toll-gate, best two in three, no record-distance
waived. Starter, judge and medical director, DR..
McCurdy. Purse-a bottle of champagne. Ex-
cursion rates over all railroads"
Now, this is all news to us. But we are not
surprised. In fact we are not surprised at any
thing coming from that source now. We told
Brother STREET. some time ago what would be the
result if he didn't stop fooling with that insiduous
"pear cider" We have heard several Hartford
men say that it will make good man go wrong
quicker than anything in the world, and here we
have an evidence fit. The only Grace" we known
of in Towsontown is the human race and, as a
rule, it don't bother much with champagne. There
other things here that don't cost so much and
60 good ways further. P. Spy the way,
Brother STREET., have you got in an extra supply
of the "cider" for the fair ?"

Hartford Road Items.-0n Friday of last
week son of Mr.. Ford, overseer for Mr.. S. j.
Martenet, fell from a chestnut tree, distance of
IS feet. He struck upon the back of his neck and
was badly Jared and bruised. DR.. Whiteford
was called to attend him.
On Saturday afternoon last two young men from
the city stopped along the road to gather some
chestnuts, when, as they allege, man on the prop
erty drew pistol on them. They were also pre-
pared to shoot, but neither side fired.
Some years ago man who owned farm be-
tween the Belair and Philadelphia roads, sold the
same, reserving the right to use the family bury
ing ground on the place. Lately the former owner
of the property lost child and all arrangements
had been made to bury it in this lot. When the
funeral train arrived at the place the family and
friends were shocked to find that some miscreant
had covered the ground around the grave with a
layer of nightsoil, which got on the wheels of the
hacks and rendered walking impossible. 1t is
hard to believe that any one could he found in an
enlightened community mean enough to be guilty
of such an act and if the guilty one could be found
he should be severely punished.
In my last letter | made mention OF our store
keeper, Mr.. A. w. Neal, having sold his property
at Parkville. He has been the postmaster at that
place and he and his wife have fulfilled the duties
of the same in the most satisfactory manner
They may not leave the neighborhood for several
months-at least not until they can get possession
of their newly purchased property at Unionville.

Thomas A. Shelton, who lives at Mt. Vernon,
Falls road, made very narrow escape from fatal
injury on Friday of last week. He was leaning
from car window on the Northern Central Rail
road looking towards the rear of the train, when
his head came in contact with the bridge just
below Boundary avenue. The blow caused him
to lose his balance and he fell through the window,
but sustained no further injury than the breaking
of his colar-bone The great wonder is that he
was not killed,

What Does This Mean 9-The Jackson Dem
ocratic Club of the 18th district held meeting on
Wednesday night last, at which speeches were
made by Messrs. John Hubner, N. Charles Burke,
DR.. Monmonier and George Morgan, all nominees
on the regular ticket. A notice of this meeting,
signed "Steadfast Democrat" appeared in the ad-
vertisng columns of the Sun on Friday morning,
from which we copy the following:
"Mr. Geo. S. Kiefer member of the Club, who
has recently accepted a position on the "Indepen-
dent ticket made an address, in which he fully
ndoirsed all that had been said by the speakers who
had preceded him, and closed his remarks by say
ing that he intended to vote the entire regular
ticket State and county with the exception of one
of the nominees for County Commissioner. Which
one he would cut he had not yet determined, but
would vote for himself in place of one of the regu-
lar nominees"
If the above is true, Mr.. Kiefer has certainly
placed himself in singular position, in view of
the fact that he has already published letter ac-
cepting the Independent" nomination for County
Commissioner.

The City Extension Question.-Gen. L. c.
Latrobe, in his letter accepting the Democratic
nomination for Mayor of Baltimore, has the fol-
lowing to say on the subject of city extension
"The boundaries of this city remain as they were
established by the act of 1916, chapter 209. No
additional provision has been made in seventy one
years for extending the limits of Baltimore Its
natural growth and increase of population are thus
unprovided for within its own jurisdiction, and a
large city has grown up around our borders avail
ing itself of all the advantages of municipal gov
eminent without sharing its expensive burdens
Especially is this the case ON the north and north
west of Baltimore. This population has common
interest with u.s. its business is all transacted with
in our limits, and It ought to form part ofour body
polite. This evil should be remedied. The i'm
provements which would follow an enlargement Of
our city boundaries would inaugurate a season oil
prosperity for labor in this city and its neighbor-
hood, and, at the same time, by the addition of a
population of those who in fact belong to us, re-
store to Baltimore its proper rank on the list Of
the large cities in the Union"

Never Satisfied

NoVor SaCISII5U.-
In the spring we long for summer,
In the summer for the fall,
In the fall the same old story
Never satisfied at all.
Even now, when big fat oysters
Once again are good to eat
When the candidates embrace US
And our joy should be complete
We are looking back with longing
To the season fair and fleet,
When the harvest winds were whispering
Through the whiskers of the wheat.
